Hej!
Någon som vet en bra sida med engelsk grammatik, helst lite mera avancerat ?
Var 6-7 år sedan jag läste engelska på gymnasiet, har pluggat på universitetet sedan dess och läser nu en master så allt är på engelska. Inser dock efter kommentarer på projekt att jag är ganska dålig på engelsk grammatik. Är dålig på ordföljden, speciellt med verben stoppar gärna in dem i början av meningen som det är i svenska. Måste väl erkänna att det här med svensk grammatik inte heller är min starkaste sida, därför jag studerar naturvetenskap
.
Så om någon har några bra tips eller vet hur man ska tänka tas tips gärna emot
.
För det enda jag hittar exempel på är ganska enkla och framförallt korta meningar.
Jag har mest lärt mig min grammatik via forum på nätet. Var på ett forum det fanns en användare som berättade jättemycket bra saker. Jag kan klistra in här under det jag sparat från dom stunderna:
"one would imply that the staring is taking place over a
longer period of time
at would imply that he stares at him, then moves along
aren't you is short for are you not - is you not is just BAAADDD
was for singular; were for plural; though there's
some weird exceptions here and there
"Than" is a comparative conjunction. Such as "Naruto
is better than One Piece"
"Then" typically has to do with time and the order
of things. "We ate lunch and then went to the movies"
"Two" is the number 2
"To" is a preposition. It usually has to do
with motion. But it's not limited to motion. It's
a bit more difficult to explain. But you can probably
look up all the uses for it in the ditionary.
"Too" basically means "also" or "as well"
"There" refers to a place "We went there after the concert"
"They're" = they are
"Their" - Belonging to two or more people. "That
is their country's flag."
'this' refers to something that is closer to you, either
physically or metaphorically, than 'that' does
This - used to mention something just pointed out in the present
That - used to point out something mentioned before
...ech...these are bad definitions. The two words can often
be used interchangeably. They're also used for comparison
purposes. *points to two things in front of you* "You can
have this, or you can have that"
this - this thing right here
that - that thing over there
they mean roughly the same thing, but "this" is used for
something which is more proximal
"This" would be the word I use to refer to the FIRST thing in front of you. "That"
would be used when I point to the second thing.
Vowels.
A, E, I, O, U - any word beginning with a vowel needs the word
"an" to precede it.
"an" before a word starting with a vowel sound, which is not always an actual vowel ("an hysterical joke", for example)
"a" in all other situations
Sara's hat = the hat of Sara
Saras' hat = the hat of all those people named Sara
that hat of Saras
"yours" - pronouns don't get an apostrophe
if you're ever unsure, just rearrange the words and spell out the idea -> the hat belonging to Sara
pronouns are nouns that refer to people - him, her, me, you, them
Oxford comma
when listing more than 2 things, there's a comma after every item with the last comma followed by 'and' - in larger sentences, not using an Oxford comma makes things weird
A funny example i saw recently illustrating it perfectly...
"We invited the strippers, Kennedy, and Stalin." <-- Oxford comma
"We invited the strippers, Kennedy and Stalin."
if you have X items, you have X - 1 commas
to put it in fanfic terms, it's like saying Hina/NaruSaku in place of Hina/Naru/Saku
because all language examples are better with a threesome"
Annars skulle jag nog prova att googla "
engelsk grammartik" eller till och med "
English grammar".
